We've been researching this concept of high-fat/low carb and have been eating this way the past few months & love what it has done for us. Know that hitting your goals isn't a fast process and there are no shortcuts. You have to be mindful of your nutrition & lifestyle overall. Check this out and SHARE with others who yo- yo to the latest fad diets.  www.gettingfittogether.com/understand-why-you-may-be-gaining-weight-while-on-a-low-fat-diet/#!210 When it comes to losing weight, most people turn to a low fat diet thinking that is the best route to go.

Most of us tend to think that if we eat three balanced meals every day, our diet is taken care of.  However, it’s easy for unhealthy foods to creep in while you’re snacking.  Let’s say you eat breakfast before you leave home at about eight o’clock.  You’re not going to have lunch until at least one, maybe even two if you get caught up in work.  That’s nearly five or six hours during which your body will need some sustenance.  Most of us just end up taking a trip to the vending machine but how long are you going to feed yourself chips and candy before your body starts to rebel, in terms of digestive problems as well as gaining weight?  Instead, it’s a good idea to pack two healthy snacks per day, one for that mid-morning meal and another for the...
